I stayed in Room 103, a deluxe Western-style room with a semi-open-air hot spring bath on the first floor, for one night from Saturday, February 17th. It has been three years since the major flood that struck this area in July 2020, and this inn was newly rebuilt in February 2023. When I think about the reconstruction, I feel a deep emotion. [About the room] This spacious room is 56 m2 and is located at the very back of the first floor. The living space and bed space are separated by a partition made of bamboo joinery, and each is independent, creating a calm design that blends in with the area. The hot spring attached to the room is a large bathtub with a natural hot spring, so you can relax at any time. There is a private terrace outside the room, where you can spend your time after bathing slowly on the sofa while looking at the greenery. What bothered me was that the safe in the room was very narrow and in a dark place, and I felt that it was difficult to understand how to operate it, and while the texture of the bathrobe was very good and comfortable, the slippers for wearing in the room felt thin and cheap. [About the hot springs] There are three hot springs with different spring qualities in the building, one of which is a private bath. It is quite fun to be able to take a tour of the various hot springs, including the hot spring in the room, during your stay. The hot spring that was particularly good was the first hot spring, ”Mikage no Yu,” located underground. The hot spring was very soft and smooth on the skin, and was of the finest quality, as the name ”the hot spring where Hitoyoshi hot spring originated.” There are also the second hot springs, ”Suiga no Yu” and ”Suizan no Yu,” for men and women, on the second and third floors, respectively, which are the large public baths of the inn, and are also equipped with a small open-air bath and sauna. You can also see the beautiful view of the clear stream ”Kuma River” from the window of the indoor bath. [About the meals] We had both dinner and breakfast in a private room at the restaurant ”Soho” on the first floor. Both meals were delicious and of a satisfactory quality. What was particularly impressive was the ”salted grilled yamame” at dinner, which was a plump yamame with thick flesh. Also, the ”Kake Gohan” served for breakfast was delicious rice topped with plenty of freshly shaved bonito flakes, making it an excellent meal. The staff were all very friendly and pleasant, but dinner was served too quickly, which was a bit of a concern. [About the public areas] Free drinks were available in the lobby, and there was a wonderful ”water basin terrace” outside in front of the lobby, where you could relax and feel the breeze from the river. There was also a ”starry sky terrace,” where a bonfire was lit at night, and you could sit in a chair and look at the beautiful starry sky. [Overall review] The facility was designed to skillfully incorporate the surrounding scenery, the facilities made the most of the limited space, the smiling service of the staff, the superb hot springs, and the delicious food, all of which made for a satisfying stay. This stay made me want to return if I have the opportunity.
